DJI Phantom 4 Pro V 2.0 Review

BATTERIES and BATTERY CHARGER1.Are the Phantom 4 Pro batteries and battery charger compatible with the Phantom 4? PROPULSION SYSTEM1.Can use Phantom 4 propellers on the Phantom 4 Pro? 2.What, if any, are the main differences between the Phantom 4 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian? However, the P4P Obsidian comes in an all-new matte black casing.

The Plus model includes a built-in display on the remote control, otherwise, they are the same machine. DJI has released an update to this great drone, the DJI Pro V2.0 is updated in mostly the same way that the Mavic Pro Platinum improves over the original Mavic Pro. To be specific, new propellers and updated ESCs create more efficient and quieter flight.

In 2016, DJI bought a majority stake in Swedish camera maker Hasselblad and the quality of DJI lens is now exceptional. For quite a few professional uses of drones, waypoint navigation is essential. We cover this area below including some terrific 3rd party applications with excellent waypoint navigation for creating 3D images. An integrated spectral sunlight sensor on top of the drone captures solar irradiance, which maximizes accuracy and consistency of data collection through different times of day. When combined with post-processed data, this information helps to obtain the most accurate NDVI results. Agriculture imagery collection is now simpler and more efficient than ever before with a built-in stabilized imaging system that collects comprehensive data sets right out of the box.

Rapid surveying with GCPs allow for 1cm accuracy for stockpile calculations to provide real-world data on operational output. Note that for either drone, you will observe reduced flight times in heavy winds and when flying at higher altitudes above sea. Phantom 4 RTK’s intelligent flight battery is listed to manage its charge in cases of inactivity, extreme temperatures or incompatible voltage. It’s easy to check the state of charge in flight and in the charger.

Obstacle avoidance is disabled in this mode, and you will certainly see the rotors in the shot when flying at full speed ahead. DJI rates Sport mode at up to 45mph, and with some help from the wind I saw speeds of around 48mph in my flight logs. Both are in line with the standard dji fly, which uses the same flight hardware, and put up similar top speeds in our field testing. For your first real flight, you’ll want to make sure you’ve picked a location in which it’s legal to fly. In the case of flights near airports, that involves contacting the control tower and making them aware of your flight plan.

It gives you a bit of a racing drone experience, too, and with an HDMI module for the controller you can connect FPV (first-person view) goggles to immerse yourself in the experience. 10.How many minutes of flight time can achieve with the new Intelligent Flight Battery? At sea level in calm environments when flying in ATTI mode, the Phantom 4 can achieve 28 minute flight times. This will vary due to different flight patterns, weather conditions and altitudes.

The obstacle avoidance and Vision Positioning System were first introduced by DJI on the Matrice 100 in 2015. The Matrice 100 is a modular drone allowing engineers and developers to create new solutions. The Follow Me mode uses the ActiveTrack technology mentioned above. The aircraft will automatically follow you and capture your every move from a unique aerial perspective. The advanced image recognition algorithms used by the Phantom 4 Pro will allow it to recognize and track the object while keeping it in frame. This new algorithm also recognizes more subjects, from people to vehicles to animals, and will adjust its flight dynamics to match, ensuring smoother shots.
